[Milsurplus] Surplus stores, then and now

[Rudolf Salomon]

Yes, this is the same Columbia Surplus.

Paul Keyes.

 I believe Paul is on this and other groups

I had the distinct pleasure of being shown through his VERY upscale warehous
located on his 10acre Somis, California Spread.

He has it all. Sells mainly to 3rd world mil. and our mill for spare parts
for older stuff. Most of his stuff is overhauled or new. Has much old
stuff...saw several of the ARC-58 Vehicle systems. TCS-15 I think. Lots of
Collins stuff, quite a sight to behold.

A bit on the high side....but...all in excelent shape
